1950s Dresses Patterns Are Great Costume Ideas

By Frances Miller


Although there are more places to buy plus size clothing, some of the modern styles are mostly made for those with leaner bodies. Think about it, skinny jeans, activewear with narrow sleeves, and tube skirts that can either make or break a full figured profile. Fashions from the past were usually cut for ample frames and there were few that wore more than one size number. Anyone who has a difficult time finding clothes should take a look at past fashions and see if 1950s dresses patterns will work for their body type.

One thing that made I Love Lucy popular with women were the glamorous dresses Lucille Ball wore in many episodes. Most of the clothes the character wore came from top designers of the time, like Don Loper. Back then, clothes were made to fit the silhouette of the average woman who may have some ample curves.

These styles, which are mostly wide in the hip area and smaller in the waistline are ideal for those seeking clothing choices that can be worn to work and on casual outings. Although a lot of people want color and a modern fit, sometimes not all current trends are ideal for every body type. Slim cuts on clothing can make fuller bodies look awkward or they may feel inclined to buy larger when it is not necessary.

This period in fashion also brought the pencil skirt and mermaid dresses. Modern versions seen in stores are either made from a stretchy fabric or intended for those with a leaner body type. Having a pattern allows for minor adjustments, such as making extra room at the bottom or adding a waist control fabric. However, these are best when done by an experienced sewer or someone with pattern making experience.

Short swing coats and jackets made a nice companion. Dolman sleeves created a nice balance between pronounced bustlines and tapered waistlines. Cardigan sweaters were also popular during this time period and those with beaded applique were ideal for semi formal social gatherings or nighttime wear.

One thing that is advantageous when a person has home sewing skills is the ability to incorporate modern fabric types. Animal prints are just as popular today as they were years ago and there are some classic styles that would benefit from using this as a trim. There are also colorful patterns that make flattering accents for anyone who prefers to wear solid colors but want to add a little excitement.

Some of these styles are even ideal for those who may be transitioning into a new body. Women from this period wore overcoats similar to today but instead of a straight design, a flared bottom is a good choice for those on the verge of losing or gaining weight. Until a person reaches their ideal sizes, clothes that look will hang nicely during the gradual change can save money.

Any woman that wanted to up their fashion game wore seamed silk stockings before leaving home. Although most dresses were fairly long, pencil skirts and mermaid style dresses usually had a slit or opening that allowed a woman to show off her shapely calves. While some women may have worn ballerina style flats in casual situations, this type of hosiery looked best with stiletto heels.
